THE ESTATE GARDENS

The grounds have been designed and landscaped by Keith Kirsten, South Africa’s celebrity horticulturalist, and multi gold medal finalist at Chelsea Flower Show. Often called "South Africa's favourite gardener," Kirsten's booming voice and turbocharged personality has entertained and educated radio and TV audiences for more than 30 years.

In Delaire, Keith has pulled out all the stops to create an uncompromisingly spectacular display of local flora 365 days a year – both as a feature in itself, as well as a fascinating florid backdrop to the Estate’s art, architecture and ambience. In the redevelopment of the Estate, and over 300 new indigenous plants, shrubs and trees have been planted.
